From 50e107ff221347494799bf038e0444f195e8ad2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lior David Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2019 16:46:43 +0300 Subject: wil6210: ignore reset errors for FW during probe There are special kinds of FW such as WMI only which are used for testing, diagnostics and other specific scenario. Such FW is loaded during driver probe and the driver disallows enabling any network interface, to avoid operational issues. In many cases it is used to debug early versions of FW with new features, which sometimes fail on startup. Currently when such FW fails to load (for example, because of init failure), the driver probe would fail and shutdown the device making it difficult to debug the early failure. To fix this, ignore load failures in WMI only FW and allow driver probe to succeed, making it possible to continue and debug the FW load failure.
